Unfortunately for him, Desmond's son Owen Sleater tracked him down to a bar in Brooklyn, where the two met. Grogan and Sleater had a friendly conversation, and Grogan decided to use the restroom after toasting to the stars and stripes. Sleater followed him, and he used a spoon to keep the bathroom door locked. Grogan sensed that Sleater was there for him, and he drew a knife, slashing at Sleater. He cut Sleater's coat, but Sleater succeeed in placing a garrote wire around his neck, with only a few of Grogan's fingers holding it from his throat. Sleater struggled with him, and he garroted him so hard that a few of his fingers fell into one of the urinals. Grogan was suffocated to death by Sleater, who spat on his body before leaving.
